As we are seeing with vaccines, we haven't yet realized the truth regarding the efficacy of genetically modified organisms.
We cannot be sure as to their safety; they were adopted mainly on the say-so of the companies' publicists, and with the blessings of former President George Herbert Walker Bush. Equivalence isn't EQUAL.
My advice, until proven otherwise, is to just say NO!

Monsanto's First Lady?

Happy Father's Day, dear readers!

First of all...why is Michelle Obama in cahoots with Monsanto in attempting to craft childrens' school menus?

GMO Hypocrisy and Double Standards against the working Class Americans

Michelle Obama insisted,during Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, that their family has been on organic diet for the past few years. Yet President Obama has made no efforts to lead America towards healthier food production with temporary halt to GMO foods while conducting a comprehensive research study of its long term side effects. In fact, he has not even made any attempts to simply label GMO to protect babies, pregnant women and those with chronic diseases. Activists, minorities, women and the young who voted for Obama hoped that his policies will be different than George W Bush. During Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, his supporters got the signals that Obama will make a real difference and start reform by putting the demands of the average American ahead of few corporate elites.

So far Obama’s policies seem far away from the promises he made in 2008 presidential election. Soon after he took office he appointed Roger Beachy, the former director at Monsanto as head of USDA, Tom Vilsack, creator of Governors' Biotechnology Partnership as the commissioner of USDA and Mike Taylor, the former Monsanto’s attorney and VP as the deputy commissioner of FDA. On the other hand, Obama's opponent Mitt Romney hasn’t revealed any details about his agricultural policies like his economic and healthcare policies. But since actions speak stronger than words, let’s take a look at Mitt Romney’s romantic ties to Monsanto.

But the word “CHOICE” is quite laughable coming from Monsanto among the big “6 pesticide firms” who have been campaigning and spending 19 million dollars so far to kill Proposition No.37. What is ironic is that Monsanto believes in the choice of their staff for non-GMO or contaminated foods with pesticides but on the other hand ignores and disrespects the choice of the whole nation for non-GMO and organic foods that aren’t contaminated with pesticides. This is hypocrisy and double standards against the freedom of choice in America and against the interest of the American people.

The Clinton, Bush, Obama, Romney families, and GMO scientists at Monsanto, all eat organic foods only. But American consumers who must be protected and represented by their government are gradually poisoned every day with foods that contain high levels of pesticides or are genetically modified. The whole purpose of having a government in the first place is to solve the problems that we as individuals can’t solve alone. But unfortunately GMO foods and foods that are contaminated with pesticides and growth hormones are regulated and presented as safe by the government. This corrupt political system and the Washington corporate lobbying are now causing serious consequences in the health and well being of the hard working American people and resulting in cancer and chronic diseases as well as record levels of allergies among children.

Eyes of the Future

The Eyes of the Future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time. – Terry Tempest Williams

Dear Vincent,
On Thursday of this past week, Monsanto’s minions in the U.S. Senate
claimed they were "just inches away" from snagging the 60 votes they
need to snuff out Vermont’s mandatory labeling law.
They have five more business days—until Friday, June 24—to get a bill
to President Obama in time to keep Vermont's law from going into effect
July 1.
That means we have five days to stop them.This week, we kicked off our summer online fundraising campaign.
Please help us raise $200,000 by midnight June 30, so we can protect
Vermont's law and take the GMO labeling battle to the next level. You can donate online, or by U.S. mail or by phone, details here.
Win or lose the GMO labeling battle, we have our work cut out for us.Because win or lose, labels or no labels, Monsanto’s Roundup will still be poisoning us. And
factory farms will still be polluting our drinking water, killing the
oceans, and contributing to a public health crisis with their reckless
use of antibiotics.
So far, you’ve helped us keep Congress from snuffing out Vermont’s law. We couldn’t have come this far without you. Thank you.
Still, we haven't crossed the finish line yet. Sens. Pat Roberts and
Debbie Stabenow will burn the midnight oil if they have to next week to
hand Monsanto a victory.Just so you know, we’ll be burning the midnight oil right along
with them. Mobilizing teams of labeling advocates. Writing letters.
Making phone calls. Knocking on Senate office doors.
But we’re also looking to the future.And what we see out there is a food and farming system, labels or
no labels, that is dominated by greedy, ruthless corporations whose
singular focus on shareholder profits blinds them to the devastating
consequences of their bad behavior.
For example: About 250 million pounds of Monsanto’s glyphosate are sprayed on food crops, lawns and parks in this country, every year.
Glyphosate—classified as a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
Glyphosate—present in 93 percent of people who sent urine samples for
testing . . . and in 100 percent of European Parliament members who
were tested.
Glyphosate—250 million pounds of it—linked to everything from allergies to birth defects to kidney failure to cancer.

"It is going to be incomprehensible to
future generations how our generation could have let glyphosate poison
the earth's ecosystems, cause multiple species die-offs, and destroy
global human health for over four decades, while standing by and doing
nothing to stop the devastation.” - Stephanie Seneff, senior research
scientist at MIT.

You have become the greatest threat to Monsanto and Big
Food. Win or lose the GMO labeling battle, we need you to help double
the size of this movement, so we can take on the factory farms, the junk
food giants and the Biotech Bullies..
We need you to help create a future where our food will be real food. Nutrient-dense food. Toxin-free food. Food grown using methods that heal, not harm, the earth.
Food that doesn't need to be labeled because it's just . . . food.Please help us raise $200,000 by midnight June 30, so we can
protect Vermont's labeling law and take the GMO labeling battle to the
next level. You can donate online, or by U.S. mail or by phone, details here.
The “Eyes of the Future” are looking back at us.
In solidarity,
Ronnie Cummins
International DirectorP.S. We can't wait for corporations or politicians to do the right
thing. The food movement was built from the ground up. It's success
depends on grassroots support. We rely on individual donors like
yourself for nearly 80 percent of our budget. Every donation counts. Please know that every donation, no matter how small, is critical to this fight. Donate online here.

About Me

This, however, allowed me to clear my head and I've now found my true calling - spearheading the eradication of FrankenFoods from our food supply.

It is irresponsible and foolhardy to allow our food supply to be suborned by the likes of Monsanto, Sygenta, BASF and all other companies involved in the creation and promotion of genetically modified organisms.
